Evernote, which acquired the OS X graphics app Skitch in August, has meet liberated an

Skitch on iOS (download link) is rattling nicely designed, and quite a aggregation more confident than its ultimate individual programme would advance you to think. While its ikon change tools are basic (you crapper pasture an image, that’s most it), it has the markup tools most grouping module need: You crapper entertainer lines, arrows, boxes and ellipses, and add text. These are what you requirement to verify an ikon — a picture or screenshot — and evaluation it up before you beam it on to someone else.
There’s no burden of tweaks and options for your markup tools. There’s exclusive digit identify of arrow, for example, and you crapper superior from exclusive octad colors. This is a agency for commenting graphically, not creating prowess or designs from scratch.
You crapper intend images into Skitch finished the iPad’s camera, the camera roll, or from
Safari or Maps. Or you crapper move from a grapheme slate. Once you’ve scarred up your image, it’s brief impact to spend it to your Evernote notebook or picture library, or beam it on via telecommunicate or Twitter.
That’s every Skitch for iOS does. The key is how smoothly it does it. I haven’t seen an app that makes rating up a Google Map, for example, as cushy as this. From effort the ikon to redaction it to sending it on, it rattling could not be easier or go more smoothly.
Evernote CEO Phil Libin told me fresh that he saw Evernote as the bicentric app in his company’s strategy to re-invent fecundity software. Skitch, he said, was also key to this. With the iOS edition of the code I crapper wager what he was effort at. After meet a brief instance with this app, I’d feature it’s a must-have for iPad users. Skitch is free.
